Thinking of swapping my GTI for Nissan S15...

i dont think the mk5 has 206kw at the wheels from a tune n lil mods like DP etc

A stage 1 APR chip on a Pirelli edition does get 226kW or so at the flywheel, which is getting right up there. What's the accepted drivetrain loss in a FWD, 20%? With a stage 1 tune and some basic mods, I don't think 206kW at the wheels would be an unreasonable assumption.

from wot i have seen at the dyno days its no where near.. maybe around 170-180 at d wheels not 200 at d wheels without a biggga turbo

For a stage 1 chipped Pirelli, that'd be right on for 20% drivetrain loss. And the stage 1 chip requires no mods at all. Better intake, better exhaust, and you'd be getting up there...
